---------------------------------------------------------

* Canon Print Driver 1.1 and Brother Print Driver 1.1 from Apple add
  support for more Canon and Brother printers in Mac OS X 10.5
  Leopard, but you probably don't want the standalone versions, since
  they include all Canon and Brother printer drivers. Instead, stick
  with Software Update, which will download updated drivers for just
  those printers you actually have (and have configured in Mac OS X).
  (Free, Canon 267 MB, Brother 54.5 MB)

* Typinator HTML Snippet Set from Ergonis adds over 100 predefined
  abbreviations for HTML 4.0.1 tags to the company's text expansion
  utility. After installation, you can simply type "<<" followed by
  the tag you want, and Typinator will insert all the necessary tags
  and variables and place the insertion point appropriately. (Free for
  Typinator users, 44K)

* Default Folder X 4.0.6 from St. Clair Software now enhances Open and
  Save dialogs further by remembering the width of resized columns in
  file dialogs that use column view. Other changes include a fix that
  allows Default Folder X's preferences to be moved between PowerPC-
  and Intel-based Macs, a fix for Carbon applications ignoring one of
  Default Folder X's keyboard shortcuts, and improved compatibility
  with Kodak Preps, Web Confidential, Parallels Desktop, and
  QuarkXPress. ($34.95 new, free update for purchases after 01-Jun-07
  or $14.95 for purchases before that date, 9.3 MB)

* DragThing 5.9.3 from TLA Systems addresses a number of problems
  introduced in the highly configurable dock utility by the release of
  Mac OS X 10.5.3 and related to Dock windows failing to come to the
  front reliably. The fix is that the Desktop Trash no longer appears
  in all Spaces by default. ($29 new, free upgrade, 7.5 MB)

* Differencia 1.1 from DayTime Software looks to be an extremely
  interesting data comparison and differencing application that can
  compare data files from different applications and different
  formats. You might use Differencia to compare data exported from
  MYOB and QuickBooks, to compare multiple contact databases, and
  more. Most people won't need Differencia, but for those who do, it
  could save an incredible amount of time and effort. ($39.95 new, 2.3
  MB)

* Owners of Data Rescue II (hard drive and file recovery) and Drive
  Genius 2 (disk defragmenting, partitioning, and directory repair)
  from Prosoft Engineering can now get Leopard Boot DVDs for both
  products. The DVDs are free to current owners, although there's a
  no-hassle approach (if you can't find your receipt) that costs $5.
